Live Poll: Sean Connery - the Man

Breumaster,

I recommend that you change your question from:
What of the first Sean Connery's characters from 1970 to 2000 except James Bond is your favorite?

To:
Excluding James Bond, which of the Sean Connery's characters from 1970 to 2000 is your favorite?

My favorite film from your list is The Name of the Rose (1986).

Zardoz (1974) is a truly awful film. However, it has one saving grace, it uses the second movement of Beethoven's 7th Symphony as the sound track. Prior to seeing this film, I had not heard Beethoven's 7th Symphony. The 2nd movement from Beethoven's 7th Symphony became one of my favorite symphonic movements.

So even trash can educate. ;) The second movement is used in some better movies, too. ... Like 'Knowing' (when the world starts to burn scene) and 'The King's Speech' (At the King's Speech scene). And surely in a dozend other scenes in other movies. It's nearly as often used as the ode to joy from Beethoven or the most overused first part of Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons'.

There are many such great melodies coming easily around the world like 'Viens, Mallika, ... Dôme épais' from Delibes 'Lakme'. Angelina Jolie danced ballet on the ropes to it in 'Tomb Raider'. Classical music is more powerful than many people think. It induces feelings, that mostly everybody shares - at last empathic people. ;)

Beethoven is one of he most famous genius ever lived. He tried to study from Mozart, but Mozart died to soon. :( So we have 9 beautiful Symphonys from Beethoven - and one unfinished ... that really is hard to get on the market. ;)

'Zardoz' is unquestionably trash ! ;)
Trash - but cult in another way. We never forgot this lousy movie, opposite to many other trashy movies. ;) I guess Sean Connery is the reason why. ;)

what a great legacy....lots of great films...'the anderson tapes'...'great train robbery'...'name of the rose'...'the rock'...'hunt for red october'...'presidio'...but...for character (and movie)...

'medicine man' gets my vote...

I guess, I've seen 'Medicine Man' 10 times or more. I really love it. ;)

I corrected it, thank you. :D  It really does read better.  :)

Name of the Rose, Outland, Hunt for Red Oct, Rising Sun, Wind & Lion.

That "first name in the credits" rule makes me sad because, you know, Connery was extra awesome in Highlander (1986). 

What about The Untouchables (1987) where Scotsman Sean adopts a very dodgy Irish accent?

Extra-Rule for the Poll-Suggestion to make some exceptions:

One Exception: Everybody associates the movie mostly with Sean Connery. 
So Main Characters first named are on first and other suggestions are on the second.

I guess, this is a fair deal. :D

*bump* ;)
